[Event "Spielvogel 2017"] [Site "BCC"] [Date "2017.01.26"] [Round "1"] [White "Rodney Jacobs"] [Black "Caitlin Barnett"] [Result "1-0"] [WhiteElo "1721"] [BlackElo "834"] [ECO "C50"] [Opening "Italian: 3...d6"] 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 d6 4.O-O Bg4 5.c3 Qf6 {Not great. Takes the best square away from the knight and causes a tangle on the kingside. It is more serious because e7 is needed for the bishop. (RJ)} 6.Be2 Bxf3 {Again not ideal. The exchange is not forced. Black after this suffers from weaknesses on the white squares.(RJ)} 7.Bxf3 O-O-O 8.b4 g6 {Very slow. Maybe Nge7 is better, (RJ)} 9.a4 h5 {Too slow. Perhaps it is best for Black to try to react in the centre by preparing d5. (RJ)} 10.a5 a6 11.b5 Nce7 12.bxa6 bxa6 13.d4 h4 14.Qb3 {Threatening Bg4.} Qg7 {Alert - preparing to meet Bg4 with f5.(RJ)} 15.Be2 f5 16.Bxa6+ Kd7 17.f4 exd4 18.Qa4+ Ke6 19.Bc4+ {The white squares are all White's to play on. (RJ)} Kf6 20.e5+ dxe5 21.fxe5+ Kxe5 22.Re1+ Kf6 23.Re6+ Kf7 24.Rd6+ Nd5 25.Rxd8 dxc3 26.Bxd5+ Ke7 27.Qd7+ Kf6 28.Qe6# 1-0
